Santa Monica / Venice Beach. Beautify Earth and the Corner Of Love.

The art initiative “Beautify Earth” commissions public and private art projects from previously overlooked and unempowered sources for the purpose of instilling community pride in impoverished or neglected communities, such as Rockaway Beach in New York, South Central in Los Angeles and the Lincoln Boulevard in Venice Beach and Santa Monica. On the latter one the volunteers painted a mural asking “Who will you be?”, planted a rock garden and put up mosaic benches and heart-shaped steel sculptures.

The Corner of Love is located at 3009 Lincoln Boulevard in Santa Monica. More information on thecorneroflove.com and beautifyearth.org .
